Section 59 states that if a vehicles is used in manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance
(1)Where a constable in uniform has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle is being used on any occasion in a manner which—
(a)contravenes section 3 or 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52)(careless and inconsiderate driving and prohibition of off-road driving), and
(b)is causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public,
he shall have the powers set out in subsection (3).

The bad bit is -
When issued the warning applies to driver and vehicle for 12 months, so if the same driver is stopped in a different vehicle or a different driver in the same vehicle commiting a suitable offence then the car can be seized.

I got this info from UKPoliceonline

So as Vinny says if you upset a police person you are up to your eyes in the brown stuff

the thing is this section 59 has sooo much leeway all he could have done was wheel spin (it isn't illegal as long as your not speeding) any little thing and they can slap a 59 on you

Same as a lot of laws it was put in place for a good reason but is abused and it is the people it was not really aimed at that pay the price. Also it makes the issuer look good on their records for hitting their targets.

according to the copper the noise my car was making suggested i was flooring it?
not been able to prove anything he then got a traffic car to search and inspect the cally, seeing an old car his eyes lit up. after 30mins of been unable to find anything wrong he decided to issue a producer for a tyre that was above the minimum tread. sigh
